The Harmful Effects of Smoking
Some scary statistics:
Teen starts smoking early then ever
Each day in the US, approximately 3,900 young people between the age of 12 and 17 smoke their first cigarette. An estimated 1,000 youth become daily cigarette smokers. 45% smokers want to quit each year. Most people who begin smoking during adolescence are addicted by the age of 20.
Tobacco use leads to disease and disability.
- Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases (including emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airway obstruction), and diabetes.
- For every person who dies from a smoking-related disease, about 30 more people suffer with at least one serious illness from smoking.
- More than 16 million Americans suffer from a disease caused by smoking.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death.
- Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year, and current trends show that tobacco use will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030.
- Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including an estimated 42,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure.1 This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.
- On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers.
- If smoking persists at the current rate among youth in this country, 5.6 million of today’s Americans younger than 18 years of age are projected to die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. This represents about one in every 13 Americans aged 17 years or younger who are alive today.
